The Philadelphia 76ers are heading on a road trip that could show if their hot start or recent skid is the true indicator of how good they will be.

The 76ers hope to avoid a fourth consecutive loss on Wednesday as they try to spoil the Seattle SuperSonics' return home after an impressive close to their own road swing.

Not much was expected this season of Philadelphia (3-3), which made few changes to a team that failed to make the playoffs in 2005-06 and whose top players - Allen Iverson and Chris Webber - have crept into their early 30s.

So it was a mild surprise when the 76ers opened 3-0, including a win over defending champion Miami. Philadelphia, though, followed with road losses to Indiana and Toronto before falling 108-101 to visiting Denver on Friday.

The 76ers defense faltered, allowing an average of 103.7 points during the three-game skid. All three teams on this road trip - Seattle, Phoenix and the Los Angeles Clippers - went into Tuesday's action among the league's top 10 in scoring.

``This will tell a lot about our team,'' Iverson said. ``You lose three and you find out what you're about. Honestly, I feel good about it happening so early so we can see what type of team we are.''

AI- bad game
AI2- good game

but still the sixers win, i bet that if when we can utilize Igoudala to his fullest then we can bag a championship (with most of the things we need coming from Iverson of course)

Its gonna take Iggy to step up then and stop being so passive. I think Cheeks wants him to be utilized Iggy has to be more aggressive on his part. Good game though. He almost had a triple double.
